Revenue Waterfall Flow Intermediate Processing

After importing the input fields and augmenting them with the data from their lookup objects, the Financial Analytics dataflow filters out non-relevant or repeated records.

You can use the dataflow editor in Analytics Studio to visualize the Financial Analytics dataflow and its nodes. Alternatively, you can download the dataflow definition file which is a JSON file representing the dataflow and its logic. For more information on the dataflow editor and the dataflow definition file, see Configure the Dataflow in the Salesforce Help.

Warning:

Modifying the Financial Analytics dataflow might result in the loss of functionality. Contact your system administrator before using the data manager tool in Analytics.

Filter Nodes in the Revenue Waterfall Flow

Filter Node

Description
RMBC_ContractLineItemWithRevenueRecognitionTemplate_FILTER

Filters out billing contract line items without a revenue recognition template. This ensures that the dataset only contains line items that are included in the revenue recognition process.

The field on the Billing Contract Line Item object that contains the revenue recognition template is determined according to the Actuals Template field in the Revenue Management Settings custom setting. If the custom setting field is not populated, the default Revenue Management value is used for the API name of the field. The default is ffrrtemplate__c.

For more information, see Adding Lookups on Your Source Objects to the Recognition Template Object and Managing Custom Settings.
